This product does a great job in the house. My suggestion is to but a product designed for the job you need to do.

No. Too small as compared to a leaf blower. It works fine on blowing water off a motorcycle but, any larger application would require more power.

Good question. It has enough power to blow a few leaves but not a pile. Try this: Use your hair dryer without heat and if that blows snow than it would work because it works better than a hair dryer!

I have not used the blowing function like that, so I am not able to provide you with an accurate answer. It seems to me that the blowing capabilities move dust, leaves and dirt, but it is not like a gas-powered leaf blower at all. Sorry that I could not be more help.

10 the blower is fantastic for blowing leafs off our deck and around landscaping . It is light weight which makes it easy for anyone to use. My. Mom is 91 years old In good health. We liked ours so well because it's like 2 lbs we got her one. She loves it Just plug it in to charge and your ready to go. Last about an hr and a half . Excellent purchase

As a followup to my reply, I do not use the small bag that comes with the blower. I use a leaf collection system, Black & Decker part #BV-006 which covers the top of a 30 gallon plastic container and also an adapter, Black & Decker part #90528426 that connects the blower to the leaf collection system.I think that you can purchase both of these items through Dewalt Service Center, 5999 Crawfordsville Rd., Indianapolis, In 46224. Telephone # 317-243-8308.Hope this additional information will help you. I purchased these additional items so I didn't have to empty the small bag so often.

Yes, this is a blower/vac and I use it ONLY as a vac. Not particularly an ergonomic setup however. As for gutter use, you will need to buy a special long tube attachment that's hooked at the end for access to gutters. The vac is certainly powerful enough to handle DRY leaves, but I'm sure you would encounter some resistance with wet leaves, especially if caked together with silt.

I do not know. I have a 32 foot run beyond the blower with (2) 90 degree bends. It blows hard enough to kill the foliage on a hemlock shrub 6 feet from the discharge ( with a 30 degree cap ) ! It is effective !! DAN

It may be powerful enough to blow such debris, but not to vacuum it. Making mulch from twigs and acorns seems to me to be more what you'd expect from a wood grinder. I can say I really like my blower-vac and that I have not had any trouble using it while avoiding vacuuming up little rocks or whatnot that would damage it. For an older lady like myself, this is far superior to raking and bagging leaves.

In response to Aaron's question, my experience with this machine is really more to do with blowing autumn leaves off driveways and other garden areas, but I imagine that the blower would be powerful enough for what you have in mind. Plus it's small enough to get into tight spaces, but as I have not used it for this purpose I don' to give you incorrect information.

Well, I am a 200 lb man and have used it a few times. I do no know the exact weight of this thing, but I will tell you that it is very heavy to lug around. You have to use the strap to take some of the load off. It is not like your regular leaf blower that you might let your wife use.

The vacuum feature is for vacuuming and mulching leaves. Dust goes through the bag, so if the leaves are brittle and they disintegrate to dust, then dust will come out. I do not recommend the vacuum feature because you often end up covered in dust and practically need a respirator when using. I would recommend using a shopvac for your purpose. That said, I like and recommend this blower for blowing leaves. It does a great job for the price.

I found that the battery is very easy to be taken out and reinstalled. It is nice not having to drag electrical cords around with this leaf blower. It is light and easy to haul around. Not a ton of power but works great for blowing off sidewalks and patios. I hope that helps.

12amp, two speed. This is a very powerful blower. My brother borrowed this blower from me and was amazed of the power. It also converts to a leaf shredder and converts to about seven bags to one bag. I recommend this product to everyone. Well worth the money. I purchased in May of 2012 and it is as if I just purchased. My reviews are based on quality and performance. If you are looking for something of such, purchase this product. You will not be disappointed!!!!VERY POWERFUL..... Hope this helps in your decision!!!

I don't know. Never tried it. I don't think that is what it was designed for. It worked fine for blowing leaves and light sand.

You could, but I'd be very careful because there is NO air filter. That would not be a good addition to this blower/vac. It doesn't have a filter because the area that the filter would be in is also the area that grinds up the leaves in the vacuum mode. An air filter would also slow down the blower because there would be a restrictive filter in the way of the air input to the blower. It is a leaf Blower/vac after all. It works great for that purpose.

Yes. Be sure to have the bag attached and the control on vacuum.When in blower mode it only blows leaves, does not suck them up and shred.
